Verse:
E minorEm         C majorC   G+G
On the banks of the Missouri
G+G   C majorC   D MajorD     E minorEm
Annie Washed up in the clay
E minorEm            C majorC  G+G
And they took her to her father
G+G    C majorC  D MajorD    E minorEm
Told him it was John McCrae
E minorEm             C majorC   G+G
Now I'm running through the badlands
G+G C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
Covering my tracks
E minorEm        C majorC  G+G
Northward toward Dakota
G+G    C majorC   D MajorD  E minorEm
With the devil on my back

Chorus:
A minorAm   D MajorD   G+G
Oh, the river flows
A minorAm   D MajorD    G+G
To our immortal home
B7B7       E minorEm
Oh Annie, oh my soul

Instrumental:
E minorEm C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD E minorEm

Verse:
E minorEm             C majorC   G+G
Well I took her down by the stream side
G+G   C majorC     D MajorD    E minorEm
For to make that girl my bride
E minorEm             C majorC    G+G
But in the fold of her pretty white dress
G+G    C majorC    D MajorD   E minorEm
Lay her father's bowie knife
E minorEm          C majorC     G+G
Well she pulled that steel blade on me
G+G    C majorC     D MajorD    E minorEm
Told me she would take my life
E minorEm            C majorC  G+G
So I pushed her into the river
G+G    C majorC   D MajorD    E minorEm
She went under with the tide

Chorus:
A minorAm   D MajorD   G+G
Oh, the river flows
A minorAm   D MajorD    G+G
To our immortal home
B7B7       E minorEm
Oh Annie, oh my soul

Verse:
E minorEm          C majorC   G+G
I am standing at the gallows
G+G    C majorC     D MajorD   E minorEm
And the scaffold it is high
E minorEm            C majorC   G+G
And the hangman asked my last words
G+G     C majorC    D MajorD   E minorEm
Before I'm condemned to die
E minorEm           C majorC    G+G
So I begged God, "Don't forgive me
G+G    C majorC    G+G    E minorEm
for the trouble I have sown
E minorEm             C majorC  G+G
for I'll soon see my pretty Annie
G+G      C majorC   D MajorD   E minorEm
in the hell fire down below."

Chorus:
A minorAm   D MajorD   G+G
Oh, the river flows
A minorAm   D MajorD    G+G
To our immortal home
B7B7       E minorEm
Oh Annie, oh my soul
